| dc.description.abstract | Although the saxophone has been in existence for one hundredtwenty-six years, the instrument's history is brief in comparison to that of other wind instruments. In chapter one, the history of the instrument is traced from its invention in 1842 by Adolph Sax and its introduction to America in the 1880's, to its development into its present form. Chapter two has a dual purpose: first, to serve as a guide to some of the materials available for the technical study of the saxophone; secondly, to make students of all ages aware of the vast body of fine literature available for the instrument. | |
